Not saving my settings

I just changed my wireless router to the d-link vonage enabled router. my problem i'm having is that if i have to recycle my router to reconnect my local network my vonage router always resets it self to factory defaults. i have to always go backin change the password, readd the other computers, reset all ports, etc. how do i get my router to keep my settings even if i have to sometimes reset my router?

Thank you for your quick response. I have only been unplugging my router to recycle it. I guess i must have a faulty router.

I think that these routers have a problem. If they lose power they reset the security settings and password. I think that these routers have a problem. If they lose power they reset the security settings and password.

Under normal circumstances, you should never have to reset your router.
If you have problems, usually you unplug it, wait a few seconds and
plug it back in. You DO NOT press the reset button. If you are not
pressing the reset button and only unplugging it and still losing your
settings, it is a faulty router, exchange, refund is your best option.
If you ARE resetting it, then it is doing exactly what it is supposed
to do.

Turn each piece off.
Turn on the COMCAST modem, and wait for its lamps to settle-down to a "steady" pattern.
Turn on the VONAGE router, and wait for its lamps to settle-down to a "steady" pattern.
Turn on the D-link router, and wait for its lamps to settle-down to a "steady" pattern.
Restart the computer that is connected to the D-link router,
and you should have Internet access.
